Which Seiko are you looking at to buy next?

I am looking at the new colors of Arnies. The King Turtles. And the new divers, 143, etc. And waiting for the Manta Ray models in September.

Of course, open to the ideas of other posters to get me in good trouble.

For me exactly this. I want a safari Arnie. Am liking the look of that - but struggling to find one in NL at a good price - as I don't want to be paying EUR560.

Would still like a SLA025 - 1968 (birth year) re-issue with hi-beat movement.

I'm still looking for something bronze too - but know Seiko don't have anything in their line-up.

Oris has some nice watches in bronze.

Big Crown, Pointer Date and Divers.
On Seikos, after the initial buzz, prices fall.

I REALLY like the SPB149J1. It seems like whenever a watch comes along that I really like, it's a Limited Edition! Maybe one will come along second hand. That and the SLA035J1, another LE. Why do we want what we cannot have? Haahaa!

I am hoping to get a SLA037. The white dial Samurai is on the list also.

I forgot about the SLA 023. There are so many great choices from Seiko, and most are much more affordable than their Swiss counterparts.

I just picked up an SNJ025 from Mimo's Jewelry who is an AD with coupon code BRUCE35 for 35% off. I believe he has the tan and green arnies in stock!

I recently fell in love with the SBGM221, so that will probably be my next purchase

On the fence....

Reading another thread in this forum, I am toying with a Grand Seiko quartz. I am not a big quartz fan at all, but reading about what goes into some of these high quality quartz movements both from Grand Seiko and Rolex, it might be cool just to have one.

Turns out I was wrong on the next one. Fast forward a day and my AD had this in the case:

I just sprung for the beige Arnie. I enjoy my Pepsi Arnie, the beige is sorta different. Different enough to justify it! You know the drill.

My grail is a vintage 44GS.

Green Willard for me.

I'd love the SLA version but just can't justify with these cheaper reiterations.

SRP777 (cuz it’s too cheap not to buy!) and the SPB151 or SLA033 (can’t decide if the SLA033 is worth it).

My SLA039 showed up at the AD yesterday and I was fortunate enough to be able to buy it. Wears great and looks good next to my SLA037. Now I am waiting on the SLA041 and I am done for a minute.
